No room left in current partitioning layout.
All that's left are a few megabytes that do not fit
within the 2000 sector scheme that drive currently
is using. Those last tidbits are not available because
the very last partition I created was the swap and
and it was supposed to consume whatever disk space
was left. It did not. It left some unused space, but useless
anyway, because it does not amount to much.
